Key features of Magento PWA Studio

Fast speed

More than half of your visitors will leave your Magento website if it takes 5 seconds or more to load. Here arises the need of Magento PWA Studio. It enables your web page to load faster, just like a rocket. So, no more flashing of blank white screens, while navigating between the pages. Also, the page headers will endure during the transitions.

App like interface

Magento PWA Studio lends your users a better experience along with expedited page loading speed, even on eccentric network, convenient push notifications, immediate access to the app due to display of the app icon on the home screen. It goes without saying, Magento PWA Studio is an ideal solution for merchants to engage the customers and generate revenue.

Icon on mobile home screen

As soon as the visitor visits your online store on the web browser, they will be notified with an invitation to add your Magento PWA to their home screen. It is as easy as making a click. In contrast to promoting your app and convincing users to install your app, it is the easiest way to find a place on their smartphones.

Push notifications

Using push notifications enables you to drive customer engagement even while their browser/app is not open. It makes it easy to let your customers learn about your latest promo campaigns, breakthrough your latest products, and also recall you to visit your store after a long duration. Contrary to the conventional method of Email marketing, this is a better option to reach out to your customers.

Fullscreen mode

This mode will cover your PWA into a native app that further aids in analyzing the expectations of the users in advance and offers a consistent online shopping experience later on.

Splash page with store logo

Once the shortcut has been installed on the home screen, your PWA appears just like any other mobile app, and when launches with a splash screen, it becomes more enchanting for the users. Despite showcasing a browser interface using a URL bar, you can invite the visitors to your store with an image and logo that reflects your brand.

More convenient

Magento PWA Studio is considered to steer the high-tech mobile browsing experience that will undoubtedly question every current Magento native app. Few experts have also forecasted that this technology is capable of replacing native apps eventually.

Offline mode

Even if the customers have poor or no connection, they will be able to browse your store as long as they have been active on your web pages. That is to say, PWA enables the users to access the cached content. Consequently, they can enjoy the hassle-free online shopping irrespective of their internet connectivity.

Low storage space

Once the native app is installed on the user’s tablet/smartphone, it will directly pull from the resources of the device. Considering PWAs, they occupy just a moderate storage space to prevent the device’s performance from getting affected.

Cross-platform availability

As we all know, every smartphone supports either iOS or Android apps, therefore developing two different apps have become a must for the merchants. But the best part about using Magento PWA Studio is that it can be used irrespective of the user’s platform/browser. This further saves on a lot of time and cost of the developers.

Easy updates

Just like accessing any general web page, customers can seamlessly get the latest updates of your PWA merely by refreshing the web page. At the same time, the native apps are only able to notify the users about the latest version, updating it manually or not is upto the user.

Background sync

This key feature enables you to retain the user’s actions such as sending a message, uploading photos, profile updating, transmitting a contact form, while the connectivity gets lost in between and resume it from the same point once the connection is retained.

Cost-effective

It takes almost double the investment and efforts to develop a native app, test it, and maintain it for both iOS and Android users. While converting your website into PWA with the help of Magento PWA Studio, the cost involved is lesser than developing a single app.

SEO support

Magento Progressive Web App Studio maintains the website’s structure, which further makes it optimized and searchable using search engines and can also be shared through URLs. Inversely, your native apps can only be displayed in the search result pages of the app stores.

Yes, it is possible. But as the best Magento PWA Studio company, we do not recommend you to convert it. This is because Magento 1 websites will be no longer supported from June 2020, and Magento 2 structure is more suitable for PWA integration instead of Magento 1 websites.

What should I opt for Magento PWA Studio or Magento Native App?

There are some differences between the two, to choose Magento Progressive Web Application over Magento Native App, especially when the merchant is too particular about the budget. These differences are – Magento PWA Studio employs ReactJS and GraphQL, whereas Magento Native app uses Objective C and Java. You need two different apps for iOS and Android in native apps, while in Magento PWA, a single app works for both platforms. The cost of development and maintenance of the native apps is high in comparison to Magento PWA Studio.

Samuel Moore Project manager
Before turning to MagnoStack, we tried a lot to develop our Magento store by the force of freelancers but they were not being able to deliver the quality. We got stuck halfway with a raw and unfinished store. That is where MagnoStack helped us deliver our Magento store within the prescribed timeline.
Evan Hall CEO
MagnoStack is a very reliable eCommerce development partner. Our collaboration with MagnoStack is absolutely great. We've engaged with them for several projects. We found the team to be energetic, focused, great communicator, and conscientious.
